I’m a bit concerned that the ease of modifying the parameters will lead to Congestion Collapse.
It’s been possible to cheat with TCP but most people don’t bother because it would require a kernel recompilation.
Or did this ship sail a while ago with various other UDP-based reliable transports, streaming media, etc?
- londons_explore 3y agoIf congestion collapse happens on the wider internet, I predict that it would take mere hours for sysadmins to come up with a temporary fix, and within months it'll become common for all core routers to have bloom filters of common src/dst IP pairs and de-prioritize anyone sending more than their fair share of traffic on a congested link.
